Thermastat install

Where does the thermastat go on these cars?

 

[FINICKY]

Look at the lower hose from under the car on the drivers side. You will see a silver roundish looking housing with like four hoses going to it. Theres two bolts holing the halves together, once you unbolt it the thermostat can be removed by pulling the two halves apart.

Do use lose alot of fluid because of it's location?

I want to know the same thing.
I'm ready to order one from RPM Outlet but want to make sure which one is best.

I live in a very hot weather.

180 is all you need

160 is too cold

I got a free 160 from rpmoutlet when I bought my predator that I have not used and don't plan on it. Should I give it a shot? What is the stock thermostat?

 

[cgg074]

I'm planning on water wetter mixed with destilled water instead of coolant.

Also want the thermostat but not sure which one yet. Maybe the 180.

im pretty sure stock is 194.

180 is as low as you need to go.

keep in mind that colder isn't always better. the engine was designed to run in a specified range and ifs it too cold it won't be efficient.
